Describing Bibliographic Data

Bibliographic data can be used to determine expertise for use cases such as finding reviewers of papers. Existing vocabularies have defined concepts and relations for bibliographic data. The MarcOnt initiative combines the MARC21 bibliographic description format with Semantic Web technologies to describe publications. SwetoDblp is a large-size ontology (spin-off of SWETO ontology) focused on bibliography data of Computer Science publications where the main data source is DBLP. Exporting RDF from DBLP by using DBLP2RDF has been used for evaluation of YARS RDF data store. BibTex is a de facto standard for describing bibliographic data. Several tools are available to convert BibTeX to RDF (e.g., http://www.l3s.de/~siberski/bibtex2rdf/, http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mcaklein/bib2rdf/).

The first step to facilitate discovering experts based on bibliographic data is to be able to utilize/integrate data from various sources. Hence, mappings are necessary for determining which data elements are of the same type as those in other datasets. OWL provides two properties for this end: owl:equivalentClass and owl:equivalentProperty. In this section, I expand upon SwetoDblp's usage of such OWL mechanisms to define equivalence relationships to other vocabularies: MarcOnt Initiative, KnowledgeWeb Portal, SWRC Ontology, AKT Portal Ontology, SWPortal Ontology, and a bibTeX Ontology. I will use the following aliases to refer to their respective namespaces:
